add side berms to the top range between the two ranges and we want to add two side berms on the bottom range and finish extending it up to at least 100 yards. When we did the first phase we only had dozers so we couldn’t move that giant rock in the middle of the bottom range, you know, we need an excavator for that – and better shooting line: we want to put a – this is all ideas from the community too… AA: OK… DO: We want to put down like a cement shooting line or to put – where to put benches on top or asphalt or whatever we can come up with after the grading cause the community wanted what we gathered all these – last couple years – is they want to do a community work day to help build the benches and fix it up nicer and put the trash cans back. The first trash cans we put out there somebody stole one and shot up the other one so… But that’s about it. We got a lot of – we can’t do too much with the parking on the lower because there’s a gulch right behind it so that we have to figure that out – better parking – so once we put up the side berms maybe we can put the parking in the middle somewhere so you have a little more parking. So that’s the main thing – is the side berms – I want to put those side berms up. AA: OK… Abraham – District 5 – is there any possibility that you can put softer material instead of just gravel onto the piles just to help prevent ricochet prevention? DO: Right now there’s no – only the top range has that pretty fine \[unclear\] that red cinder we put up there… AA: Right… DO: ….so that was according to the range expert Loren Kramer – that should be fine – that size. But as you know there’s nothing on the bottom – on the floor – which would be nice to put a layer of softer dirt or something. And that big red pile on the right – we want to put real fine cinder on that, you know… There’s pretty big rocks there. AA: Some of the questions that we’re getting about 16 Mile Marker one of the major things – why do they need their hunting license to shot there if it’s a shooting range and not a hunting area? And Andy you may chime in on this one too. c. DOCARE Officer Andy Ford of DOFAW will talk on 16 Mile Marker shooting range rules AF: Yeah, OK, you hear me right? AA: Yup. You’re fine. AF: OK. I wasn’t sure about that I’ve just been kind of hanging back. AA: Yeah, so Darren you can kind of touch up on it first and then we got Andy Ford. AF: Alright… 7
